Abstract
Molecular Communications provides a promising solution to achieve precise control and process of bio-things in applications of Healthcare-IoT. In this paper, we investigates the mechanism of electromagnetism-induced molecular communications (EMC) among non-excitable biological cell networks. We choose calcium signals as the physical information carrier to study the paradigm of EMC. Firstly, an electromagnetism-potential coupling model is established to study the electric-magnetic induction behaviour of cellular membrane potential. Then, an Ca(^{2+})oscillation model is established to study the relation between membrane potential and Ca(^{2+})signals. Further, we validate the waveform patterning of calcium signaling by applying various intensities and frequencies of electromagnetism. This paper shows the relations between electromagnetism stimuli and calcium oscillation through mathematical modeling and numerical experiments. We find that there exists a resonance behavior between electromagnetism and calcium signals, namely calcium signals oscillate via a similar frequency with the electromagnetism. This paper reveals that molecular communication can be effectively induced by traditional electromagnetic signals.
